Pentagon voices caution on latest Yemen missile incident

WASHINGTON Oct 17 The Pentagon declined on
Monday to say whether the USS Mason destroyer was targeted by
multiple inbound missiles fired from Yemen on Saturday, as
initially thought, saying a review was underway to determine
what happened.

"We are still assessing the situation. There are still some
aspects to this that we are trying to clarify for ourselves
given the threat -- the potential threat -- to our people,"
Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook told a news briefing.
